The best lay explanation of the tipping point business I saw recently was this Economist piece: https://www.economist.com/briefing/2019/08/01/the-amazon-is-... In short beyond a certain point the local climate becomes unsuited to the flora, further encouraging deforestation and changing the climate, which becomes more prone to drought. Meanwhile the evaporative cooling from the shrinking expanse of trees declines, changing the climate and encouraging drought. It becomes a reinforcing effect. |
